With a new technique and concept, I have preserved these large squids in a articulated manner in their Jars and Displays. Instead of just throwing the animal in a jar of alcohol, the squid was carefully positioned and suspended in its container to be immortalized in this unique display. The entire sculpture is a tad over 2 feet tall with a width of 10 1/2 inches. The squids themselves have a body length of over a foot with tentacles if stretched out reach 2 1/2 feet! The process of preserving the squids requires around 2 gallons of alcohol and over a month to complete. Each one will be completely unique!
The wood displays are made of high quality heavy Oak stained a dark red/brown on the exterior with a black wood stain for the inside of the box and the lighting housing. The black stain creates a clear contrast to the lightened squid. Detailed columns and accents to the box were created to develop an antique mad scientist aesthetic and feel. The squids can rotate 360 degrees within the display, so you can view the specimen from any angle. The light housing is situated on the bottom of the display, up-lighting the squid.
I really can't tell if this is really cool or really creepy. Probably a bit of both.

Oh wow I would just love to have something like this myself!! I love dead sorts of things floating in large illuminated cylindrical tanks! The last thing I had was actually a beta fish, alive, in this illuminated lava lamp shaped tank. It was pretty cool and having something alive in there was rather cool too. Unfortunately my cats knocked the little tank off the fireplace mantle and it spilled out all over the floor and I found my decoration dead on the floor all shriveled up about a day or two later. I suppose I'll have to buy a new fish. But some dead squid in a jar does sound just as equally exciting!!! I love the shock and amazement factor!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.

In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
